Lousianians object to shipments
of lead-tainted soil from Dallas
MONROE, La. (AP) -
Louisiana officials scrambled to
get a court order Wednesday to
stop the Environmental Protec
tion Agency from shipping tons
of lead-contaminated soil from
Dallas to a Monroe landfill.
"We plan to resume shipping
soil to Monroe, La., tomorrow
morning, unless we are stopped
by legal action," EPA
spokesman Roger Meacham in
Dallas said Wednesday.
"Presently, there is no legal
reason and no environmental
reason not to resume ship
ments," Meacham said.
A federal judge denied the
state's request to block the ship
ments on Monday, but the Oua
chita Parish Police Jury filed a
new request with a state judge.
Their first effort failed on
Tuesday, but District Judge Mil-
ton Moore said he would recon
sider if there was proof the soil
was dangerous.
Lynn Tubb, attorney for the
police jury, said he returned to
Moore's court Wednesday with
affidavits from experts in toxi
cology and landfill design, who
said the soil could possibly con
taminate drinking water sup
plies.
However, Moore was out of
town and it was not clear
whether he could review the
documents by long distance.
At issue are about 1,000 yards
of "nonhazardous" but contami
nated soil, now stored at the RSR
smelter site. Officials said the
storage area has been full since
March 13.
"We estimate that it would
take us, at the equivalent of 55
truckloads with 22 cubic yards
each, about 18 days at three trips
a day" to remove that stored soil
to the Magnolia Landfill in
Louisiana, Meacham said.
"And then, after that, we
would ship as necessary. But one
thing we don't want to do is shut
down the cleanup project."
On Monday, U.S. District
Judge Donald Walter denied the
Louisiana attorney general's re
quest for a temporary order pro
hibiting the EPA from proceed
ing with the shipments.
Walter's ruling was the latest
involving three lawsuits filed by
state and local government to
keep the soil from being
dumped near Monroe.
However, Meacham said the
soil is more dangerous in Dallas
than it is at the landfill.
"There's no reason why the
soil should not go to a facility
specifically designed and operat
ed to accept this kind of waste,"
he said.

"In the end, it will be a reconstructed econo
my; it will be a strong economy," Wolff said.
"In my view, the problems are cultural rather
than economic."
Wolff said he thinks the bigger challenge is
the socialization problems eastern Germany
residents face.
"There is confusion about the notions of
property," he said. "These people are accus
tomed to inactivity and passivity. They have
been educated in the sense that all decisions
were taken by others for them.
They will not easily adapt to the demands of
the market economy.'
Wolff also addressed the fact that Ger
many's geographical position enables them to
be a major player in international affairs. He
said the nation wants to avoid endangering its
integration into the community.
"The temptation may exist for Germany to
■lever fo
act as a middle power between Eastcrn§ esc heduli
Western Europe," Wolff said. l n g ( w hicl
"Whatever Germany does, there issii rcheduled
cion by the neighbors."
The view the world takes on the new
many depends on how the country deals
its responsibilities, both inside andoutsii
borders.
"In the long run, this will succeed,"!'
said. "No doubt about it."
Clinic offers services despite funding woes

D souza said. "It's a good method
of birth control, but too many peo
ple have taken advantage of it at
the same time."
D'souza said about 80 percent
of Planned Parenthood clients de
pend on Title 20 funding, which
allows low-income individuals to
receive an 80 percent discount on
all Planned Parenthood services.
She said these people will be left
high and dry.
"The people it will hurt the
most are the indigents who do not
have money," D'souza said. "We
feel terrible that we have to charge
them the higher price."
D'souza said about half the
clinic's clients are students, and
many of them use the funding.
"Although the Beutel Health
center provides some of the same
care, I think the wait is so long
that they prefer to come here," she
said. "Tnose that are putting
themselves through college pretty
much qualify for the Title 20."
D'souza said the clinic would
